> Trying to force a countercultural artistic endeavor into a box created by the International Olympic Committee — the oldest of old-school conservatism

I watched a little bit of it and I thought it was fun. Break dancing is exciting to watch and the dancers were smiling and looked like they had a good time.

I think the ioc made a fine product for us normies to enjoy.

I keep seeing takes that are negative on breaking. Like let people have fun. I bet the competitors are happy to dance on the world stage.
